Maybe I didn't search enough.
Is there a way to display today, yesterday and still have sorting?
Answers
Are you saying you want a mixture of dates, ie, 09/05/2021 and
todayin the same column? Is the actual data fortodaya date but you want to display it with the wordtodayinstead? If you just want to display strings liketodayoryesterdayin place of a date you can use orthogonal data for thedisplayoperation and returntodayfor today's date or just return the date. Sorting will still be by the actual date.If this isn't what you want or it doesn't help please provide us with a simple test case showing an example of your data and a description of what you would like to happen.
